Hi, I'm seriously thinking about buying a 172 or a 182. Could anyone tell me of common problems, are they reliable etc.
Also is there anything I should know before buying one?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!!

I have had no problems with my 182 yet:quiet:

I can't wait to get one. I really want the gold 182, is that the best one to get?

They rattle. lol


If it's 5 years old, or coming up to 5 years old, make sure it's had a cambelt change as it isn't the cheapest to replace.


Gold 182? You don't mean black gold do you?

 

[janelle]

sorry no it's liquid yellow. what's the best year to buy?

 

[Jay Payne]

one major problem is the temptation to go FAST :race:

 

[janelle]

Yep, that's why my bf doesn't really want me to have one, "it'll be too fast for you, there's no point you having it, you won't use it to it's full potential...."
